Reading Notes: The Magic Kettle, Part B
Within this story, I found that the Tanuki would make an interesting character. I think instead of having it be a tea kettle, it could be a type of human shapeshifter who longs to be with humans. Maybe it cannot control its power when it shapeshifts. This would cause conflict, and the creature would wonder about where it fits into the world. The Tanuki may be mischevious in its non-human form and wishes to control this power for that reason. Maybe the color of the Tanuki would change depending on its emotion. This emotion could also influence the clothing that the Tanuki would wear in human form. A human who finds him could possibly try to help him control his powers.
